Problems with DF Forums
« on: December 06, 2022, 03:35:19 pm »

I’ve been getting a lot of “500 Internal Server Error” errors when trying to use the forums today.

Has anyone else been having the same (or similar) problems?

Same problem. Maybe there's more traffic now or something because of the Steam release?

If the forum stats are correct this isn't even the most concurrent visitors in the last two years.

Can confirm here as well. Also errors about the connection being unexpectedly closed.

Edit: Took something like ten tries to get this post through. Couple errors about no response from the servers in there...

This has been my assumption.

Hey look. If the site is down that's just more time to play DF.

Look at the bright side, we will get new blood! Probably a few trolls or idiots with them, but it will be a net positive.

I literally just made a thread on this in the other General Discussion section, lol. It definitely seems to be because of Steam release.

It's possible the visitors were not even logged because the server just dropped their connection, giving 500-code server error messages back because of all the traffic.
